am i looking for love in the right place?

in the morning, I am left with an empty space.

i do everything according to societal code, careful with the tempo and pace.

yet, every morning there is only the scent of a body, the only trace.

i wake at four a.m. in my finest silk and lace.

but, they always choose to leave once they have achieved their goal, third base.

young and afraid, i am.

what if my worst fears actually conquer my reality?
the truth is that it is a possibility.

to lose myself to those traits.

it's not something that i want to see reflect back on me in the future and admire.
instead i'd rather change and hold the fire.

yes i do possess these things, but they won't take control.

touch,
contact,
feeling...

humans need it and crave to find the person that will fit.

we do it aimlessly,
without realizing that if we were to look up from our brightly lit screens we would see a world that offered beauty and love endlessly.

think about that,
then go back to a mindset that is useless and flat.
